Against 3 computers. It was very easy (not the difficulty). I played as Necropolis and found myself at home, since it's very similar to the Necropolis of HoMM5. My final score was 216. When you guys play, what's your average score?

I also tried HoMMV on Hard. I got killed. I defeated an about-equal army, then two days later an even more massive, fully-upgraded army rolls in and crushes me, since I don't have a lot of soldiers left. What's up with that, does the computer get bonus troops on Hard or something?

Please, I know that Tcancer is the strategy place to be but this really belongs in General Strategy Gaming. Someday we'll get saint to let us put GSG in the Tcancer section but until now keep the strategy stuff to the y'know, strategy forum.

As for the OT, yeah, the difficulty really ramps up at times especially in the scenarios. I've yet to complete one so I can't really give you my score suffice to say I got raped every time.

Australia mate!
The computer cheats horrendously before patch 1.2 and moderately afterwards.

I never really look at what score I get but they don't really reflect the way I play anyway. The score goes up the less time it takes to complete the level but I usually like to explore the whole map and make sure I own all mines before finishing off the enemy
